We welcome new members! (We even welcome those who have not finished the entire book - though be aware of the spoiler alert - the ending may be given away during our discussions)

This book club focuses on contemporary literary fiction. If you enjoy discussing modern and contemporary literary fiction then this is the book club for you.

We like to have lazy Sunday afternoon discussions of the book over a glass of wine or a drink of your choice. Typically we meet every fourth or fifth Sunday of the month, between 3 and 5 pm and go for a bite to eat afterwards.

Where: several venues, Waterstones, the park on a good day, the Southbank and other central London locations

When: 4th or 5th Sunday of the month in the afternoon.

Book choice: Literary fiction

The  meetup is free to attend, however when at a commercial location serving food we ask that you purchase at minimum a drink to patronise the business (please do not bring in food to a food establishment or we may be expelled).

P.S. we were formerly called the London Southbank Book Group but have meet at many locations so decided to rebrand ourselves! ;)

 

RSVP etiquette
Please RSVP yes, only if you have every intention of attending. It is courteous to let me know if your circumstances change after RSVP'ing yes. It takes a lot of time and energy to organize this. Be considerate to the members who attend and update your RSVP's.
